I wanted to watch "Babel", "Marie Antoinette" or "Casino Royale", but due to time and location constraints, I finally chose to watch "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus" starring Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. )

.The director is Steven Shainberg, the name is relatively unfamiliar, and there is no famous previous work. Before watching the movie, I clicked on Rotten Tomatoes for a lot of things, only 25% praised, I didn't watch it in detail, but I immediately regretted buying the movie tickets. But Maybe I didn't have any expectations, but I felt that the film was not too bad.

Diane Arbus (1923-1971) was a famous Jewish photographer, in the name of shooting some marginalized people. Diane (pronounced Dee-Ann), who was born in a wealthy family, Formerly known as Diane Nemerov, married actor and photographer Allan Arbus, the husband and wife team is well-known in the fashion industry.

The film is about the cooperation between Diane Arbus and her husband in photography, and because she met the neighbor eccentric Lionel Sweeney (Robert Downey Jr. .), inspired by him to start shooting with marginal characters as the theme, and then develop the story of extramarital affairs. The plot of the film is a bit loose, and the beginning of the film deliberately creates a sense of suspense and horror, but in the middle of the film, the audience does not quite understand what the director wants to say What a story.

Of course, with the help of the famous actress Nicole Kidman, the movie has always been a bit appealing and a bit worthy. Since "The Others" and then "The Hours", Kidman seems to have become a hot female role in suspense movies. She The acting is still impressive in "Fur", and the snarky feeling is still unique and impressive. Robert Downey Jr.The hairy man "appeared, only to see his eyes, and he didn't see his true face until the end, and he didn't have much chance to exert his acting skills.

The soundtrack of the film is good and it leaves an impression. I read the film reviews and said that if the director was David Lynch, it would be very impressive. To be honest, the story itself and the subject matter of the film are good, the actors and casting are good, but the plot is lacking in tightness and Continuity.
